Grüß Gott von mir

As usual, my main issue is with the German. Of course, I know "(get ready or time to) meet your maker," but I've heard it in situations quite different from what we've got here.

In any case, 18th century + bad guy is too little context for me. For example, I'd like to know what kind of villain this is. Also, I think he probably said what he did because he knows he won't go to heaven.

One of Biggie Smalls' songs included the line: "Get ready to die, tell God I said hi." That's too recent, though it's closer to what I'd like to see up there.

Meet your maker is utterly villainous! You're dating yourself, sweetie, the expression is older than I am.

I'd normally agree with what has been posted so far, but this sounds a bit sarcastic. It's the villain talking and I can't readily imagine why he would say that.

"It was nice knowing you" comes to mind. Or "nothing personal."
